I work with veterinarians to create leg, back and neck braces, that promote healing or enhance function. Materials: Low-temperature thermoplastic sheets are heated, then custom moulded to match the exact contours and requirements of the animal. Velcro is usually used to secure the splint in place. The splint can be remolded if the needs or shape changes.
